Get BPL book reccos by email

If you're planning a Spring Break trip, thinking ahead to your summer reading list, or looking for ideas for your book club, Brooklyn Public Library has some great suggestions. Many public libraries offer book suggestions online, but I was totally impressed recently with the themed book lists available at the BPL website.

Electronic Reading

I am an avid reader.  What’s more, I primarily read on my morning commute, which involves at least two subway lines (sometimes two subways and a bus), and I’ve long considered how much more convenient it may be to use an electronic reader rather than lug paper books in my bag to and from work each day.   But with three readers competing in the market and many more on the way, which one should I choose?

Library School update

I received my 2nd Library School acceptance today - to University of Pittsburgh.  While that is of course great news, it is actually causing me a great deal of stress!  Having a choice of top schools means a lot of legwork in the next couple of weeks on my part.

Greenpoint Library Friends news

This evening was the regularly scheduled meeting of the Greenpoint Library Friends group, and I was elected treasurer! I'm honored that my fellow members have welcomed me to the executive board of the group.

The Greenpoint Friends also have great Spring events coming up, so mark your calendars. [Details]
